Quick Stats: 4.6 Miles & 1,123′ gain via Rocky Peak Summit Trail from Rocky Peak Trailhead.
Less than a week after our first adventure, we wanted more. We had set out to hike to the summit of Kagel Mountain. There exist two ways to get to the top of Kagel Mountain, and the one we picked went through private property. Not feeling comfortable trespassing on just our second adventure, we decided instead to go back to Rocky Peak. This time we knew what we were looking for to reach the Summit Trail from the main trail, and took the direct route to the top.
When we were here the previous Friday, we brought a rock from along the journey to the summit as “our rock.” When we came back this time, we brought a little battery powered engraver to mark our rock.
